We went there after reading so manu good reviews. Although the fee is higher than outside market rate, ThaiB420 for an hour thai massage which is worth every pennies! Me and my friends had thai body massage. Their pillow have traditional herbs essences, the women gave me pressure points massage rather than oil massage. I was so comfortable after the... More

We stumbled upon the Wat Pho Thai traditional massage centre during our visit to Wat Pho and absolutely no regrets! Staff were professional and skillful applying just the right amount of pressure to sore spots that had suffered through the day of exploring the city. Will go back for a no frills cheap massage the next time we visit!

I was under the impression that Thai Massages was a lot of stretching and massaging in between the areas that they stretch out. The Thai Massage here seemed like regular massages except they cracked my fingers and toes.. weird. The masseurs didn't seem very professional, they were taking calls and talking to each other a lot. But it's a nice... More

The massage is pretty good but the waiting time is really long. The cost is high as well and a similarly good massage can be had in most of the better parlours around Bangkok with more private setting. However, just for the experience of having had a Thai massage at the place where it all started, one could make arguments... More

First I would like to say that I only had a look around the wat and didn't have a massage, so please read other reviews if you are interested into that. I really enjoyed wandering around the wat and seeing all these awesome building. There are lot's of shady places where you can relax and cool down a bit. The... More

I enjoyed a much needed foot massage here after visiting the Grand Palace and the Reclining Buddha. My masseur was student of the Massage School and she gave a superb massage. The massage starts off with a cup of hot herbal tea while the masseur prays. It was busy when I went at noon. The prices are reasonable.

If you are interested in traditional Thaimassage or even in taking classes for it, that would be a good place for you! The school is located across the Street from the famous Wat Pho and right on the Riverside. Great teachers, very openhearted and funny ! its worth your time and money!

Great decision to spent an hour or so here enjoying the massages. Very nicely done and authentic. Friendly atmosphere all round and well worth a visit. Do visit if you want a piece of Thailand to go home with.

This temple has it all !! Declining Buddha is very stunning. Beautiful Thai architect all around. Best Thai massage I have ever had. Best thing to go early in the morning. It is located along the Chaopraya river. I would say plan for a day trip, start off with Wat Pho, get an hour massage (This way you can beat... More
